This quarter, my notebook has helped me stay organized and make sure my thoughts stay all together. In the future, for quarters three and four I plan to use it to practice my taking notes not copying notes. Even though we continue to practice it, I still find it difficult so I plan to use this notebook to max out my skills.
My story, “Beginnings and Endings” is centered around mother and son finding ways to accept and love each other in challenging circumstances. In Benway’s “Far From The Tree” it closely following three siblings finding each other and finding/accepting themselves and their obstacles. Though those ideas are slightly different, Benway inspired the way I wrote my story and influenced my decisions about snapshots, thoughtshots and motif.
